Reply:Well....i%26#039;m pretty sure that once you buy the flowers you can call them whatever you want :) Other than that, maybe do a google search of the lady%26#039;s name+flower and see if anything comes up. Or find out if a particular flower is associated with the month of September (i searched for this and there were several answers).
Reply:You won%26#039;t be able to get a flower named after anyone but you might be able to find a plant that is already named with the same or similar name.





If you are in the UK go to this page

Enter her first name in the search box and so long as it is not too unusual it should give you a list plants that have that name together with details of the nurseries that can supply them.





Good luck.
Reply:Very sweet idea. You might be able to convince a smaller rose breeder to do this for you, though they usually name them after family or famous people. Try the folks at Nor%26#039;east Roses (1) or George Mander (2), a Canadian hybridizer. If they won%26#039;t/can%26#039;t, they might know someone who can.





And Jackson and Perkins offers you the opportunity to name a rose after someone, if you can afford $75,000. (3)
Reply:What a very nice thing to do.

Reply:I%26#039;m sorry I dont know, but I think that is a lovely idea and the special lady is lucky to have you.
Reply:Contact a rose grower and put your case. It might be difficult. How about a different plant or a local hybridist who might be sympathetic if you put a good case.
